Naked Truth TV
For anyone who wishes, this is my appearance on Rogers TV London’s Daytime on Thursday of last week. …
Working
Yes, And…
It’s the first rule of improv and the key to performing with another person. Â Whatever they do, wherever they go, say “yes, and” not “no, but”. Â …
My Best Clients
Often times people wonder what Lisa Brandt Creative Services does. Â I made the name deliberately vague so it could encompass a variety of things.

The Naked Word
An update on the media coverage of my ebook The Naked Truth.  I’ve been on radio in cities across the country and Friday was a very big day. …
Bias Dismissed
This is a blog posting I published at www.blackburnnews.com and www.981freefm.ca this week under my banner of Morning News Anchor. Â It just offers a little peek into something that can go on behind the scenes. Â …
The Secret to Writing a Book
The Naked Truth is my second book and it’s actually about half the length of my first, Celebrity Tantrums: The Official Dirt.  So people often ask me how I managed to get so much writing done with such a busy life.  Where did I find the time?  What’s the secret?  Whether you’re a prolific and successful writer like Stephen King or a little self-published hopeful like moi, the secret is exactly the same.

Change in Strategy
My goodness this whole ebook world is an education!  I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need to learn how to navigate Apple’s specific and special way of dealing with its iBooks store in order to make The Naked Truth available to anyone who wants it.  And that decision has taken a huge weight, about the size of a Mac computer, off my shoulders. …

The Missing Link
A couple of years ago I wrote in this space about not understanding Linked In.  It’s a networking website where people link to other people for professional reasons.  They could be in a similar line of work, the same city, or simply want to hook into the other person’s contacts in hopes of expanding their contacts.
